		<description><![CDATA[Who Was Jesus&#8217; Grandfather?

Genealogies fulfilled multiple purposes in the ancient world. [...]]]></description>

The six-month exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls closed January 3 in Toronto, with scholars baffled by the Jordanian government&#8217;s last-minute request to Canada to stop the ancient manuscripts from going back to Israel.
The request, delivered to the Canadian chargé d&#8217;affaires in the Jordanian capital of Amman, underscores the tortuous history of [...]]]></description>

Sderot, Israel:  Hours before the new year, as hundreds of pro-Palestinian and -Arab demonstrators gathered at the Erez Crossing chanting “Katyushas on Ma’alot, Qassams on Sderot,” Israeli demonstrators at another Gaza viewpoint a few meters away gathered together to communicate a very different message.
“A New Decade for Hope and Peace,” was the [...]]]></description>

If you send a letter to Santa Claus, it may or may not reach the North Pole. But if you address one to God, Jesus, the Queen of Sheba, or King David, chances are it will wind up in a warehouse in Jerusalem.
The world&#8217;s mailmen, it seems, ascribe divine power to this [...]]]></description>

In this time in which we live, is there still room for Christmas? Oh, I don&#8217;t mean all the usual festivities that accompany the &#8220;holiday&#8221; season. Most people dutifully make their way to the stores to buy gifts for their loved ones. They may hang pretty lights up and make their [...]]]></description>

As the celebration of Christmas fast approaches, our attention quickly goes to the familiar words of the infancy narratives found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.  This is a healthy reflex.  After all, the Gospel of Jesus Christ rests upon the historicity of the events that took place in Bethlehem as [...]]]></description>

Many Americans see the present politically correct view of the holidays as a jihad against the Christian celebration of Christmas.
Retail chains now mandate that clerks greet customers with “Happy Holidays” rather than the traditional “Merry Christmas.” Scattered school districts have banned the singing of Christmas carols, and many have relabeled the holiday [...]]]></description>

JERUSALEM — When Prof. Gadi Wolfsfeld asks his political science students at Hebrew University if Israel really should free 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including organizers of terrorist attacks, for one seized soldier, as the Israeli government is currently contemplating, he faces a stony silence.
“People feel extremely uncomfortable raising it,” he said. “It’s so [...]]]></description>

Israel’s benchmark bonds are poised to fall, pushing yields up as much as 0.4 percentage point, as the central bank persists in raising interest rates to curb inflation, according to Excellence Investments Ltd.
